About Me

I am a 33 year old graphic artist/part-time stay at home mom. I have a 4 year old son Bobby---my best bud and my sunshine. My beautiful daughter Hannah---who flys above in Heaven. And my beautiful Rainbow who lights up my life---Eliana Grace born December 2010. My husband and I have been married for 5 years and have been through more than your average couple, but always try to remain strong for each other. I am extremely blessed.

Mommy of an Angel

No one ever thinks of pregnancy as tragic.....I know I never did. From the moment I found out we were pregnant with our second child, I was filled with dreams and hopes for her. Sadly I lost Hannah in my second trimester.

This is her story and my journey through grief.....

Broken Hearts

Today is Valentine's Day---the day of love. All I'm feeling is sad. They say time heals all wounds, but do they ever fully heal? How could they?

It's been hard for me lately. I lose myself in daydreams of what could have been. I feel like I'm half connected to the world going on around me. I've been trying hard to focus on things besides the giant hole in my heart, but let's face it---sometimes you just can't.

I picture that sweet girl with a giant 2 year old grin opening her birthday presents. Eating her cake. Just doing everything that she SHOULD be here doing. Because she should be, right?

Ah this day of hearts just leaves mine broken once again. How do you truly live with this ache? How do you truly learn to live with it?

I wish I had the magic words to take your pain away to bring joy and a smile to your face. All we can do is our best, even when that sometimes doesn't seem good enough, but we trudge through. Sending you hugs and lots of love and hoping and praying your heart mends. <3
